When the news comes around that a rider has broken his back it makes you feel horrible. Mark Webb was the most recent victim when he broke his L1 on a frontflip that went wrong at Southsea. Effraim Catlow visited him in hospital and here's the latest update: Just back from hospital, quite a healthy crowd to see Mark today, Ronnie Remo, Ben Wallace, Jim B, and connected girlfriends. Anyway, good news, looks like Mark will be off his bike for 6 months, he will be going home tomorrow, and is instructed to stay in bed for 12 weeks, he will have to go back in 2 weeks for a check up, in his own words; "I can't Mark Webb this one, I will have to wait it out"...

Friday, November 30 marked the end of what will forever be remembered as the longest and most courageous battle between one man, a man we all know as the world's greatest daredevil, and death. Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel died in Clearwater, Florida, finally succumbing after nearly a three-year bout with the terminal lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. He was 69. His death was preceded by more than 40 years of constant battle against the persistent pain of broken bones and severe trauma after jumping and crashing motorcycles like no man had ever done before. Dubai X-Games rider list. Contest takes place from 6-8 December 2007.

Dirtjump contests don't get much better than the Red Bull Elevation in Whistler, Canada. First of all, take that location. It's one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's got hotels, it's got bars, it's got bears and it has those huge lifts that take you to the top. In the wintertime the place is filled with snowboarders. In the summer the mountain bikers invade the town and in 2010 Whistler hosts the Olympic Winter Games. But there is one weekend in the year that makes more sense for BMX-ers to make the trip up there; The Red Bull Elevation. The jumps are built well in advance to make sure they're perfect when the best riders in the world arrive. Going down the hill it's possible to build bigger stuff (more airtime) and with some money (and prestige) on the line you know this place goes off. 
This times nightjam is called “SKITTAAA!...” The game “SKITTA” is similar to “SKATE” or “BIKE”. Except for the fact that it’s played in teams of three riders. When your team has managed to get to the word “SKITTA”, you and your team are out of the game and or your way home crying like a baby! (No exceptions!) Hoffman Bikes news update.
